hi all

Can someone explain why not B instead of A?

The passage's central theme is the book written by author and the shenanigan claims of the author of not getting the due credit. The conclusion should be the related to the book not being good enough. That is the main cause. Option A is an effect of primary conclusion hence a secondary conclusion!

What do you say?

Re read the passage. It states that he got some achievements: some might be significant while some may not, NO CREDIT was given to his achievements. I think this is where you are falling for.
